Foundation for Roanoke Valley has been bringing good people and good causes together for over two decades. We are fortunate that many of these special people, our Friends, demonstrate each year that a good cause they care about is Foundation for Roanoke Valley. Our Friends understand that it takes time and financial resources to ensure that charitable organizations receive assistance in funds as well as technical expertise and that more donors find ways to use the Foundation to help the Roanoke Valley.

Becoming a Friend of the Foundation is a great way to get involved! By making a tax deductible gift of $500 or more to our annual Operating Fund you will be recognized as a “Friend of the Foundation’ in our annual report, website, other publications, and at events.

Your gift will support:

Our continued efforts to market and communicate the value of charitable giving

Seminars and workshops for attorneys, CPA’s and other financial professionals emphasizing the role of planned giving in keeping our community strong

Annual scholarship reception recognizing many deserving young men and women pursuing their educational dreams

Our continued efforts to engage local high school students in the world of philanthropy and grantmaking through The Philanthropy Project – Youth Leadership Committee
